Unparalleled Concubine

The Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War is the most powerful department in the fourth division. The servants, doctors, and Yuanwai Lang are all officials in charge of the fourth rank. They are in charge of the sixth rank and are responsible for some specific affairs. , not even dust, but in the eyes of the young Ye Cheng, it was already the blue sky above his head.

Li Xin's growth experience is very different from Ye Sheng's. After entering the Habayashi Guard, Li Xin took advantage of chance to rise to the top, and because of his skill as a dragon, he climbed to the sky in one step, while Ye Sheng really climbed up from a small soldier back then. Yes, it took him more than 20 years from a Qiuba to a general.

How many of them are sad and bitter, it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

So what old man Ye said just now was not out of yin and yang. From the old man's point of view, Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War, really shouldn't waste too much time on him.

Hearing this, Li Xin was silent for a while, then sighed: "Master Ye, this disciple is going first."

Ye Cheng nodded: "Be careful."

Li Xin cupped his fists at Ye Lin and forced a smile: "Senior Brother Ye is taking a break at home today, and tomorrow I will have a banquet at home to welcome Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Lin nodded to Li Xin.

Only then did Lord Jing'an quit the Ye family, he got into his carriage outside the Ye family, without much hesitation, he said, "Go to the Ministry of War."

Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War, is actually very incompetent. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War in the third year of Taikang, but it was not until the sixth year of Taikang that he began to occasionally report to the Ministry of War and take over some affairs of the Ministry of War. But even so, Li Xin didn't put too much effort into the Ministry of War either, he only went to have a look when he remembered.

The servants of the Marquis of Jing'an often went to the Ministry of War. Hearing this, he did not hesitate much, and immediately drove a carriage with Li Xin to the Ministry of War.

At around midnight, Li Xin dismounted at the gate of the Ministry of War. He didn't wear official uniform, but just a daily black robe, and walked into the office of the Ministry of War.

But after all, he has been Minister of the Ministry of War for five years. After seeing him, the official at the gate of the yamen immediately bowed his head deeply: "Master Shangshu."

Li Xin ignored them and went straight in. He just walked to the front yard of the Ministry of War. Qian Sheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, came out to welcome him, and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"The lower official has met Lord Shangshu."

Li Xin took a deep look at the fat man, and then asked with a smile: "Qian Shilang, when you presented the picture to His Majesty, what did you say to His Majesty?"

This fat man must have betrayed Li Xin when he presented the map of northern Xinjiang to Emperor Taikang, otherwise the emperor would not have said that to Li Xin.

Qian Sheng's chubby body trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Master Shangshu...I don't understand what you said..."

Li Shangshu snorted, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't know how to grasp the opportunity given to you, and you just shook everything out, didn't you?"

Qian Sheng was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and tremblingly said: "Master Shangshu, I really can't understand what you are talking about..."

Li Xin glanced at the fat man, squinted his eyes and asked, "Did you tell Your Majesty that those maps of the northern territory were drawn since the sixth year of Taikang?"

Qian Sheng shook his body and said nothing more.

Li Xin shook his sleeves and snorted angrily, "I don't know as much as you today. Where is Mr. Xie, I want to see him."

Chapter 660 The Big Business of 300 Guan

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Xie Jun's qualifications are much older than Qian Sheng's. In fact, during the few years when Li Xin was not in the Ministry of War, Xie Jun was actually the Minister of the Ministry of War. Therefore, when Li Xin came to the Ministry of War, Qian Sheng came out in a hurry. Welcome, but Xie Juan Xie Shilang is not in such a hurry, and still works in the backyard.

But Li Xin is his superior after all, after dawdling for a while, Xie Jun rushed over from the backyard in a hurry, bowed his hands to Li Xin and saluted: "I have seen Li Shangshu."

Li Xin looked at the old man Xie with a smile, and said with a smile: "Xie Shilang, I have something to discuss with you, please Xie Shilang move to my class?"

The classroom is the office. In fact, officials in this era often say the word "off work".

Xie Juan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty obeys."

Li Xin glanced back at the unreliable Fatty Qian, walked in front with his hands behind his back, and walked towards his classroom.

Although he hasn't been working in the Ministry of War for a long time, he should still have an office, and it is also the largest squad room in the Ministry of War.

After a while, Li Xin came to the door of his classroom, opened the door and walked in. Because there were people sweeping the room every day, the room was very tidy, and because there were not many official documents, the whole classroom seemed extraordinarily empty.

Li Xin sat on the main seat with a big grin, pointed to the lower seat, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sir, please sit down."

Xie Jun was not polite, and sat down slowly.

"Li Shangshu summoned the officials to come over. I don't know why?"

Li Xinxin knocked on the table, looked up at Xie Jun, and then said with a smile: "If there is nothing wrong, the Ministry of Accounts should have allocated 300 million yuan to the Ministry of War for the Yunzhou City. The state army has added equipment and supplies, etc."

Emperor Taikang was very concerned about the matter of the Northern Expedition. Once the emperor was concerned, the Household Department naturally followed suit. In fact, this morning, the Household Department's "allocation" had already come down.

Xie Juan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's the case. The documents from above have been sent to the Ministry of War. The officials plan to start handling them in a few days."

Now there are four divisions in the Ministry of War, Xie Jun is in charge of the two most important divisions, the Wuxuan Division and the Treasury Division, which means that this matter is all his business.

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face, and he said: "Don't worry about this matter, Xie Shilang, hand it all over to me, and let me handle it."

Xie Jun's face changed slightly.

"Li Shangshu, this matter should be a matter of the Department of the Ministry of Treasury. The subordinate officials have already arranged everything in a hurry, and Li Shangshu... is not familiar with the Ministry of War after all. This is not a trivial matter. Naturally, there is no problem with Li Shangshu's supervision , but rashly took over, I'm afraid..."

In fact, this Xie Shilang is not someone who contradicts the superior. In fact, this old man has done a good job in the past few years, allowing the Ministry of War to be organized without a minister. The reason why he rejected Li Xin so strongly on this issue , and even resisting the Shangguan, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the word interest.

There is a big door here.

Although the Ministry of Finance has agreed to the 300 million yuan appropriation, according to the rules, if you want the money to be in place as soon as possible, then the money that actually goes to the Ministry of War cannot be so much.

After the less than 300 million yuan of money reaches the Ministry of War, another round of division will be carried out. It is not about how much everyone from the servant to the doctor is greedy for.

Every penny will be spent, but where is the money spent and how to spend it, there are many tricks that can be figured out, even if this time it is purchased from the Royal Wine Division and the Military Weapons Supervisor, there is still a lot of money to be fished in. .

For these specific matters, the Ministry of War has a set of detailed procedures. After a set of procedures, the benefits that should be distributed will be distributed in sevens and eighties. In the end, there will be no less things for the court, but is it worth 300 million guan? , is two things to say.

These are the benefits that have already been distributed, and the entire Ministry of War is gearing up for the 300 million coins, but right now, Master Shang Shu, who doesn't come once a month, wants to take over this matter as soon as he opens his mouth, which makes Xie Jun a little unacceptable up.

Xie Jun's attitude was very simple.

You can share the money if you want, but if you want to take the plate away with you, that's impossible.

Li Xin smiled and glanced at the gray-haired old man.

"Xie Shilang, after the past few years, you should also know in your heart that Li Xin is not a person who loves power, otherwise I would not leave such a huge military department alone. Li Xin also knows how dirty the military department is. Some, how you do things, I don't want to take care of it, and I don't have the energy to take care of it."

"but."

Having said that, Li Xin paused, and said, "However, what happened this time is different from the usual ones. To tell you the truth, it is His Majesty who communicated with me in advance this time. Well done, beautifully done."

Xie Jun was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said, "Li Shangshu, how do you know that we people can't do things more beautifully than you?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Because you are greedy for money, but I am not."

Xie Jun's face changed slightly, and finally he spoke slowly.

"Li Shangshu, red mouth and white teeth..."

"Alright, alright."
